My Hands Are Small – I Don’t Mean to Spill My Milk
My Legs Are Short – Please Slow Down So I Can Keep Up With You.
Don’t slap my hands when I touch something bright and pretty – I Don’t Understand.
Please look at me when I talk to you – it lets me know you are really listening.
My feelings are tender – don’t nag me all day – let me make mistakes without feeling stupid.
Don’t expect the bed I make or the picture I draw to be perfect – just love me for trying.
Remember I am a child not a small adult – sometimes I don’t understand what you are saying.
I love you so much – please love me for just being me – not just for the things I can do.
From the Child Protection Center, Inc.
I love this letter with all my heart
